The Architect’s Experience at METALCON– the only global event dedicated exclusively to the application of metal in design and construction – announces special programming for architects, designers, specifiers and engineers at this year’s annual conference and tradeshow, which takes place in Indianapolis beginning Oct. 12.
The Architect’s Experience is a “show-within-a-show” – a series of events over two days – focused on the use of metal as a design and construction component. Attendees will take away practical knowledge and techniques to breathe new life into their projects and solve the toughest architectural, structural, environmental and building performance challenges―all through the use of metal.
Who Should Attend?
Architects, designers, specifiers and engineers of all experience levels, including associates, studio leads, specification writers, technology managers, project managers and principals.
What is the Experience?
Discover limitless applications for metal in design; see the latest metal products available for the building envelope and interior from insulated metal panels and metal roofing products to finishes and coatings; hear from the “Dean of North American Building Science” as he delves into the world of energy flow; and earn nearly a year’s worth of continuing education credits (CEUs)—all in one place.
